Answer:

While writing a chronological review, the idea would be to identify a clear path of advance of research in postmodern librarianship and present the trend in a chronological order of development. You should start writing your review by collating and analyzing all available publications and documents related to postmodern librarianship or closely allied subjects. 

A chronological literature review describes each work according to when they were published, starting with the earliest available information. Considering this, assess if you can divide the chronological review into subsections for each vital time period. In the methods section of the review, group together the sources in order of their publication date.

For example, if the earliest available article on the topic dates to 1998, you can arrange the sources in groups in this way - information available from 1998-2005, from 2006-2012, and 2012-the present.
